Which of the following is an example of violence against women in the family?
A. Forced prostitution
B. Dowry-related violence
C. Sexual harassment at work
D. Trafficking in women
is it A
That is not usually violence in the family.
Be sure you know the meanings of all of the words.
The correct answer is B. Dowry-related violence. Dowry-related violence refers to instances where a woman is subjected to physical, emotional, or sexual abuse by her spouse or in-laws due to dissatisfaction with the dowry given by the bride's family. Forced prostitution, sexual harassment at work, and trafficking in women are also examples of violence against women, but they fall under different categories.
Yes, option A, forced prostitution, is an example of violence against women in the family.
To arrive at this answer, it's useful to have an understanding of what each option represents:
A. Forced prostitution: This refers to the act of coercing or forcing women into engaging in prostitution against their will.
B. Dowry-related violence: This denotes acts of violence committed against women when their families fail to meet the expectations of the groom's family for dowry payment in certain cultures.
C. Sexual harassment at work: This refers to unwelcome or inappropriate sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile work environment and is targeted towards women.
D. Trafficking in women: This involves the recruitment, transportation, and harboring of women through threat, force, or other coercive means for the purpose of exploitation, which can include forced labor, sexual exploitation, or forced marriage.
In this case, while all options represent forms of violence against women, forced prostitution specifically occurs within a family context.
